| _________________________________ [Mar 14,2011 3:13pm - Doomkid ""] Conceal carry laws are fine in rural/semi-suburban settings but there are serious issues if you start extending that to cities. Urban environments are very stressful to humans, particularly walking thought cities when your brain has to deal with dozens or hundreds of new human faces at a time. Given the amount of bullshit fights that break out in bars, I would posit that guns would cause more damage/loss of life since drunk people cannot be counted on for anything resembling reasonableness. Especially with particular people and their tendency towards aggressive behavior. Homo urbanus: go ahead and use some kind of non-lethal weapon instead. |

RETARDED BACK ASSWARDS LIBERAL PUSSY CRAP, that's what I think of that. Clearly you didn't bother to actually check on anything I wrote. I'd be happy to provide you with articles and studies showing that urban environments are stressful to humans. As for my positing, what the fuck is wrong with throwing out an idea? I didn't claim any facts, with the exception that drunk people are more likely to be aggressive and unreasonable, which I doubt you would contest. I don't see how my suggesting people carrying weapons that have less potential to kill people based on a snap-judgement makes me a pussy. And there's no correlation to draw between people driving and carrying concealed weapons. People die in car accidents when cars fuck up and do not do what they are supposed to, people die from gunfire because the gun did exactly what it was designed to do. Regardless, my view on driving is that its become this sick perversion of American views on private property ("my car, I can do what I want, fuck everyone if I'm driving dangerously in a car which damages public health"). How about you me some examples of cities(above 100,000 people at least) where people are given blanket permission to carry concealed firearms. I'll happily change my view if presented with evidence. |

Not proposing, pointing out that this is how it's ALWAYS worked since one dude told another dude, "you can't do [X] anymore and here's why" with a rock in his hand. It's all gradation and illusion separating any government ever from any other band of brigands. So attacking gun ownership with a "might makes right" argument is like criticizing owners of heavy rocks because "well, what if gravitation acceleration suddenly equaled 9.8 meters/second squared and they started falling, you ever think of that?"

Pull the trigger, and deal with a potential lifetime of loss, legal troubles, and much much worse ramifications. Absolutely right. Currently, if you even pull a gun on someone, you can be prosecuted for criminal threatening. Followed by the po-po taking ALL of your beloved firearms. You need to prove that you are substantially threatened, and currently need to try the option of retreating before using deadly force. There's a new bill being voted on tomorrow in the NH House that could change some of that if it passes: House Bill 210, introduced by state Representative Richard Okerman (R-Rockingham 4), would permit law-abiding citizens to use force, including deadly force, against an attacker in their home and any place outside of their home where they have a legal right to be. In the face of unlawful attack, law-abiding citizens should not be forced to retreat or run from a place they have a right to be. 210 is in answer to a guy up north who ended up doing time because he was holding a gun when he told a woman to get off of his property - didn't point it at her, only brandished it. She rose a stink, and he got fucked, which pissed off 3/4 of the state, hence the 210 law. Also, another one allowing you to keep your piece(s) in a locked vehicle: HB 235, introduced by state Representative Gary Hopper (R- Hillsborough 7), would permit the carrying of a firearm in one’s locked personal motor vehicle and prohibit a business entity from banning an employee, customer, or invitee from possessing a firearm in such person’s locked motor vehicle while on the business entity’s premises. |

| _________________________________ [Mar 14,2011 6:39pm - Doomkid ""] I wasn't implying that you were my research assistant, I just wanted you to supply evidence to back up your point as I offered to do for mine. So that we could both 1) learn something from each other 2) have a discussion rather than a shouting match It is hard to draw a positive or negative correlation between opening up of conceal carry laws over the past 25 and the firearm homicide rate. I was very wrong to assume that there was data to support my position, and the truth is it doesn't obviously support it. However, I believe that it is a bad idea to allow urban populations to arm themselves in the long run. I'm not saying that concealed carry laws give people a license or a reason to just shoot someone. What I'm saying is that it creates a context in which it is much easier for someone to get shot for a trivial reason. Example: Men in lower-income areas of cities can be prone to act in rash ways to resolve jealousy issues. The position of being in a relatively low-status position can lead individuals to take extreme risks over what people in general might call "trivial incidents". Since cities characteristically group those with low-status together one would expect more of these explosive "trivial incidents" to occur and cause problems, and indeed that is borne out in research. (Wilson, David S. Evolution for Everyone, p 94-96) So, would it not make sense to err on the side of caution and arm less rather than just arming everyone (who-is-able-to-obtain-a-permit)? |

Admiral Yamamoto said "there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass". I live in NH and have my permit, no problem. The only difference is they get $10 for like 4 years with a permit and if the new law passes they won't. You don't need any permit to buy a gun now, the only difference is they won't get $10 from residents, big deal. To anyone who says there will be gun slingers in all the bars . . I go to the bar, with my gun and haven't shot anyone yet. You can who most of the folks who have guns and who don't. The ones that don't make up scenarios that are unlikely out our fear. |

| ___________________________________________ [Mar 14,2011 10:13pm - MillenialKingdom ""] Owning a gun isn't just for shooting people, there are lots you can do with them. I own a .22 pistol, plan on getting a .45 and a couple rifles. I have my concealed carry permit. I'm in the Army and every year we have a shooting competition that I want to be a part of and I own a gun for practice and such. Compared to the national scale, NH is one of the top 5 safest states. To my knowledge, there is not a lot of gun crime happening but I could be naive. Also, committing a crime with a gun and expecting to get away with it is really dumb because you spend about an hour filling out paperwork while the gun shop owner calls the government to run a background check on you. Your signature is on official paperwork along with the gun you just registered. You would only be incriminating yourself which is the reason why you don't see a lot of people just popping off shots at others. |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 15,2011 1:15am - RainPerimeter ""] ...briefly, I have to say it's the most disgusting feeling to have a gun pulled on you. I went to a Dubstep rave last week in San Fransicko and as I was hiding my belongings in my car ('cause I parked in a sketchy neighborhood) a cop walked up and pointed his gun at me. I'd rather have one and not need it than need one and not have it, but, if I was carrying that night I would have gotten hassled waaaaaay more than I did. Supposedly, people were robbing cars in the 'hood and me in my black hooodie, hood up, fit the description. Happy drugs were more than necessary that night despite whether or not they were on the agenda... |
